Taylor & Boody Organ, pipes

This event has passed.

Fanfare!

Taylor and Boody’s Op. 55 arrived on June 6, 2007 and was designed specifically for the newly renovated Marquand Chapel. The installation represented the culmination of a process begun eight years prior with the planning of the renovation of Sterling Divinity Quadrangle. 

The organ was inaugurated with a festive series of events over the course of the 2007-2008 academic year.
